Ron:
Open a Workspace.
Type SerialPort
Select it and do Alt- B
Should raise one Hierarchy browser when you must read.

This class supports a simple interface to the serial ports of the underlying
platform, if it supports serial ports. The mapping of port numbers to
hardware ports is platform specific, but typically follows platform ordering
conventions. For example, on the Macintosh, port 0 is the modem port and
port 1 is the printer port, since in the programmers documentation these
ports are referred to as ports A and B.

Send more questions if you have.

Cheers and welcome to list.

Edgar
